Pros

Can make good money if you are here for at least 4+ years, easier than other financial firms due to being provided clients/ leads

Cons

No flexibility- required to work in the office 5 days a week. Have to perform many roles. Very corporate, does not feel like your managers care about you.

We appreciate you calling out both the positives and the challenges. Compensation and benefits are an important part of the overall employee package, we are glad they have been meaningful. At the same time, flexibility and work life balance remain important as teams navigate evolving ways of working. Hearing both sides in one review helps leaders focus on what should be maintained and what should be improved. We appreciate the balanced feedback.

Pros

-I did not know anything about finance, just had sales experience to my name and an open mind to learning and they took me in and tought me so much. -Benefits are top tier, from the basics to some that you didn't know they even existed. -They give you 8 hours a quarter for personal development. -Good pay without even including bonus or language add ons. -You will learn a LOT -

Cons

-2 year role commitment -Very corporate so might not let be your true self in the job with peers.
